A Chinese couple have been arrested after "selling" their baby daughter and using part of the proceeds to buy an iPhone.
The pair, named only as Mr Teng and Ms Zhang, posted online adverts for the baby in June, Shanghai's Jiefang Daily newspaper reported.
While it is not know how much they received, the adverts asked for between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan (£3,000 - £5,000).
Following the birth, the baby girl was handed over and money changed hands.
Investigators found the cash was spent on an iPhone, "high-end sports shoes and other products", the South China Morning Press reports.

"We did not give the baby away for money but in order to give it more security," The Telegraph quotes them as saying.
